How do I get some HTML (or other non-xml data) nested within a tag as a literal string?

Digester/FAQ - Commons Wiki
If you have something like: <article> <title>An article about something</title> <body> Some html (not XHTML) data here <br> And some more text. </body> </article> then this simply 'cannot' be processed by digester. Digester is a layer on top of a standard XML parser, and as this is not valid XML the underlying parser will not allow it. Your best option is to wrap the non-xml content in a CDATA section (see the preceding FAQ entry).

How do you generate a table of contents and so forth?

ThesisTeX FAQ list
This is the beauty of LaTeX; all tables of contents, lists of figures and lists of tables are automatically generated by the lines in the frontmatter (see my examples on the main page). The first time you LaTeX your code, a .aux file is generated which lists (among other things) the page numbers for all the sections and subsections.

Can REBOL dynamically generate graphics for websites?

REBOL Language FAQ
If you use Windows for your server, then REBOL/View can be used with server scripts (such as in CGI) to dynamically generate graphics. This is easly done by creating layouts then converting them to images: out: layout [ image %picture.jpg text "This is a picture" ] img: to-image out save/png %image.png img Note that only PNG output is currently available, but GIF output will be added in next release (because the patent has finally expired.) We also want to add JPEG output.

How do I dynamically generate a map legend in its own image?

Oracle Application Server 10G MapViewer FAQ
When issuing a map request that contains only a legend spec with no drawable map data (not specifying any basemap/themes/features), MapViewer will generate a map image that contains only the map legend. You can then get the URL of this legend image and show the legend somewhere in your web application external to the map images generated. This is more efficient than embedding a legend in every generated map.

What are the performance costs of using XML for my data? With or without validation?

Paul's Newbie XML FAQ
far as I can tell (from researching the web and from my tests ? see the actual benchmark data below), parsing data with XML is about 2-3 times slower than for a simpler tagging scheme. Further, if you turn on validation with a DTD, the performance will be about another 70% slower (compared to validation with a W3C schema which can be another 135% slower). So, for example, suppose if you have a simple tagging scheme, and it can parse 4mb of data in about 0.60 seconds.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF USING GEOTHERMAL ENERGY TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY?

Geothermal Education Office - Power From the Earth's Heat
Clean. Geothermal power plants, like wind and solar power plants, do not have to burn fuels to manufacture steam to turn the turbines. Generating electricity with geothermal energy helps to conserve nonrenewable fossil fuels, and by decreasing the use of these fuels, we reduce emissions that harm our atmosphere. There is no smoky air around geothermal power plants -- in fact some are built in the middle of farm crops and forests, and share land with cattle and local wildlife.

Why do I get a LinkageError when using XML interfaces in my test?

JUnit FAQ
The workaround as of JUnit 3.7 is to add org.w3c.dom.* and org.xml.sax.* to your excluded.properties. It's just a matter of time before this fix becomes incorporated into the released version of JUnit's excluded.properties, since JAXP is a standard part of JDK 1.4. It will be just like excluding org.omg.*. By the way, if you download the JUnit source from its Sourceforge CVS, you will find that these patterns have already been added to the default excluded.

C.6 Is there an XML version of HTML?

Frequently Asked Questions about the Extensible Markup Langu...
I have started work on an XML version of HTML Pro, but it’s not easy, and I need convincing it’s worth doing. The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) is a W3C project: ‘This specification defines XHTML 1.0, a reformulation of HTML 4.0 as an XML 1.0 application, and three DTDs corresponding to the ones defined by HTML 4.0. The semantics of the elements and their attributes are defined in the W3C Recommendation for HTML 4.0.
